Backyard Birds

My post today I sharing some fence scenes from my neighborhood for Tex's Good Fence meme, some backyard birds and a couple shots of the moon for my Skywatch Friday post.

For my Good Fence post this week I am sharing this fence that has birdhouses on all the fence posts.. I ride by here often and I enjoy seeing all the different kinds of birdhouses. Sometimes they change them out and put out new houses.

A closer view of some of the houses and fence.I have not seen teakettle bird houses.

If I were a bird, I would be a little afraid of this birdhouse..

Some more of the houses seen along the fence.. we had to move (traffic got in the way) so I could not get more closeups of the houses, but they all look cute..

Back in my yard..is a Tufted Titmouse.. they seem to be quite active in my yard.. Chasing each other all around..

The pretty Indigo Buntings are still visiting, it would be nice if they stayed all summer.

The moon on Monday evening..Almost full.

I zoomed in for a gorgeous look at the moon. The Full Moon is on the 16th. I hope you enjoyed my post..

Good morning, Eileen.LOVE the idea of those birdhouses on the fences. We have small cut-outs of birds on ours-they were there when we bought the place. I've repainted most of them--and have thought of expanding on the idea. This would work out well-and might give real birds another nesting option. Have a good day---we're supposed to get snow, but just light and it should melt right away, but yuck, ya know!!!

Fabulous idea of birds' house on hense; and varieties of them♡♡♡ I smiled with the caption of cat version.I love your birds collection "Tufted Titmouse" is really lovely. And as always, I love your moon shots☆☆☆

What a most awesome moon. We didn't see it last night or tonight due to rains and storms. Maybe Friday night??? That's a great fence with all the bird houses!! Just wonder how many are used in the spring and summer time!!

The birdhouses are charming (except the cat one, that is kind of weird, I agree). Beautiful moon shots -- you're expert at that. Thanks for the reminder of the full moon -- I'll try to get at shot of it here at the Lake.

I had a friend that put a row of bird houses on her garage ... they were all the same and the sparrows faught and faught over them. Then she realized that they were mixing them up, so she painted numbers on each house ... guess what> Peace and Quiet. This post reminded me of that and these people are smart enough to make each house a little different. Love it, especially the Cat house :)

Hi Eileen, What whimsical and bright bird houses. No, I also have never seen a custom-made tea kettle bird home. Fun. Yes, that kitty house would be slightly scary (probably to us more than the birdies). Your Indigo Buntings are really pretty - I long to see some. Have a great day tomorrow!

What a wonderful variety of shots for the day, Eileen!! I love those cute birdhouses! Great fences and beautiful blue, blue skies!! Thanks as always for sharing the fun and the beauty! Have a lovely weekend!!

I like the colourful birdhouses along the fence! I wonder if the birds actually nest in them. This reminds of a fence north of us that has some unusual objects on top of the posts ... I'll have to take a little drive up there and see if they still have them and will link up next week to "Good Fences" if they do. It'll be a surprise! Nice shot of the moon :) Wendy x

My first thought when I saw the birds boxes on the fence was: my goodness, they are are easy to reach for a predator such as a cat or a snake!!!I hope it's not the case!Lovely post, I love the Tit mouse!Keep well Eileen!

All those beautiful bird houses, but they are very close together, many birds do not think that's really nice.I think they do not all occupied, just like the sparrows that nest close together.The moon is really sublime Eileen.Greetings Irma

What a nice fence with all those birdhouses on it :-))) Very funny to watch, and also a very nice blog for the fences of TexWisGirl. The blue bunting I find beautiful to see. The two-tone tit I've never seen. Wonderful to see :-) back a few (for me) new species of birds Have a great weekend Eileen.

There's a whole new piece of research there Eileen in discovering which fancy box each species likes best (or not). It must be great to have Indigo Buntings around throughout the year - such a beautiful bird.

Thank you for visiting my blog in Menorca. I'm home now and back to normal - sort of. Have a great weekend.

Those are really great bird houses. The stranger the better:) I'm hoping to see Indigo Buntings up in Maine this summer. Are you are a major trek somewhere fun? Or do you have some epic plans coming up?:)
